last few days in America - my belated post

First of all, my apologies to Michele. I promised a post on her birthday and failed to realize it -_-; Today I woke up with a lot of guilt. O.o

The primary excuse I am going to use is that I have been really uneasy upon heading back to the red land. They say the whole point of traveling is not to set your feet on the foreign land but to set feet on your homeland as a foreign land. The past one year witnessed my beloved city turned into an Olympic -obsessed new one. This week my mom had to call me and tell me the new route from airport to the center area and the changed train schedule as well - obviously Beijing outgrew me (yay?)

My life is Phoenix is absolutely pleasant and sometimes thrilling - thrilling when I traveled with Shannon and her 15-year-old brother and 50-year-old mother all the way from Phoenix to North Oregon. This part of my life is worthy of several blog entries, so please stay tuned =) Essentially, as Patrick said we spent 4 days driving up and 4 days driving down, and 20 min in Oregon.

My memory card reader is not here today and I will upload pictures of Shannon, John and the rest of the family when I get it.

Right now I only have one on this computer. Me Hug Palm Tree! =D


I got several emails after I left Yale. I got an email today which says "It was so great getting to know you, and just doing stupid things like eating overpriced Korean food or sitting in your living room late at night." (yay？)

All the friends are so worth keeping no matter where I am in the future. To my surprise, George (the Scottish guy you met on 51st event) sent me new books to my Phoenix address.

A better clue hasn't come to my mind regarding how to organize my thoughts and present them sincerely and truthfully. But I will post soon=)
